In his portraits, the source of his strength is the bow and arrow in his hand: the god of a man shot dead by Cupid's arrow is full of uncontrollable desires. In mythology, Cupid is a minor figure, mainly used to promote the development of the plot. He is only the protagonist in the story of Cupid and Psyche. When he is wounded by his own weapon, he will experience the torture of love. His tradition is full of poetic themes and visual scenes, such as "Love conquers everything" and Cupid's revenge punishment or torture.

Cupid was still a popular figure in the Middle Ages. Under the influence of Christianity, he often has the duality of heaven and earth. In contemporary pop culture, Cupid is depicted as a bow and arrow that inspires romantic love, and is usually regarded as a symbol of Valentine's Day? You think Cupid is like this:

So why was Cupid beaten?

Because Cupid loved the wrong person, he fell in love with the princess Psyche on the earth? Psyche, especially Psyche's beauty made Venus jealous. Venus flew into a rage when she found out, and cursed psyche, so that she could not love her all her life. In order to resist his mother, Cupid stopped shooting golden arrows, making it impossible for human beings in the world to fall in love, have no love, have no offspring, and no one sings Venus. But in the end Venus compromised and let them be together.
